The bloody battles fought in the trenches of the Western Front, the icy plains of Poland, the mountains of the Balkans, and the deserts of Arabia, shaped the world we know today.

Each card can be used to perform movement and combat Operations, Strategically Redeploy units, accumulate Replacements to rebuild battered Armies and Corps, or introduce dozens of historic Events.
